ENDOVASCULAR STENT GRAFTS IN THE TREATMENT OF PATIENTS WITH OCCLUSIVE AORTOILIAC AND FEMOROPOPLITEAL DISEASE
Endovascular grafting for aortoiliac occlusive disease was first described by Volodos et al26 in 1986, who used a Dacron-covered Z-shaped stent to treat a long-segment iliac occlusion. Their technique involved three steps that remain the basis on which endovascular grafting for occlusive arterial disease is performed. In the first step, occlusion or stenosis is crossed with an angiographic guidewire. Secondly, long-segment dilatation of the vessel is performed in an attempt to dilate the vessel
SUMMARY
The use of endovascular grafts for the treatment of occlusive arterial disease continues to evolve as the sophistication of currently available devices improves with regard to device composition and delivery systems. Endovascular grafting for occlusive arterial disease is particularly useful in high-risk patients with medical comorbidities who are otherwise unfit for a major operation and conventional open repair. The early term and midterm results on the treatment of occlusive, iliac, and

2011, Journal of Surgical EducationCitation Excerpt :Aneurysms, dissections, and stenosis of the aorta and its branches are now, in most cases, treated using endovascular techniques, provided the disease is within some anatomic guidelines. From an option reserved for patients in critical clinical condition13 or for the treatment of difficult to access arterial segments,11 endovascular surgery has become the standard technique for a wide range of situations. Obviously, in some situations, especially in cancer patients,14,15 when resection of vascular segments is required during oncologic operations, OS is the preferred choice.
